How to draw Tom and Jerry with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Cartoon drawing tutorials for beginners and everyone.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
The first step is to lightly sketch the sketch above – it doesn’t have to be perfect… it’s just a rough guide to where we draw the characters in this tutorial.
Step 2
First, we’ll be drawing Jerry – the mouse – so go to the rough sketch you drew in step #1 and draw the head on the light sketch. So draw a circle and then draw a shape like the number ‘3’ for Jerry’s ears.
Step 3
Now draw a number ‘8’ on the side (that number is not closed at the bottom). This will be Jerry’s snout and cheeks.
Step 4
Now, draw a shape like the letter ‘u’ below the muzzle and cheeks that you drew in step #3. Alternatively, draw Jerry’s nose as an upside down ‘u’ filled in except for an oval ‘highlight’. Also, draw the mouse’s whiskers like a ‘v’ shape.
Step 5
Draw the number ‘2’ upside down in Jerry Mouse’s ear. Also draw Jerry’s eye as an upside down ‘u’. Also draw the beard as a horizontal ’11’-like shape.
Step 6
Draw the iris and pupil. Draw a horizontal ‘s’ on the top of the head. Also draw a shape like the number ‘4’ on the top of the back ear.
Step 7
Draw a letter ‘c’ like the shape for the belly. Draw 2 downward curved lines for the arms.
Step 8
Draw an upside down ‘L’ for Jerry’s back. Also draw the number ‘3’ upside down for the hand. Also draw curves on the right side of the mouse for speed lines.
Step 9
Draw a number ’11’ on the back. Also draw a shape like the number ‘3’ on the right hand.
Step 10
Draw a letter ‘j’ like the shape for the foot.
Step 11
Draw an inverted ‘s’ shape on Jerry’s paw. Draw the back fist by drawing one shape that looks like the letter ‘c’, 2 shapes that look like the letter ‘c’ upside down and then one that looks like the letter j’.
Step 12
Draw the belly mark… it doesn’t have to be in perfect shape. Also draw the tail.
Step 13
Start drawing the hind legs by drawing an inward curve and an upside down capital letter ‘L’.
Step 14
Draw the hind feet by drawing the letter ‘j’ and the number ‘3’ backwards. Now we’re done with Jerry, the mouse. Come to the cat Tom.
Step 15
Now find Tom the cat from the sketch you made in step #1. Start drawing Tom’s forehead as if you were playing hangman (but in reverse). Then draw a capital ‘M’ with an extra zigzag. Alternatively, draw Tom’s eyes by drawing an upside down ‘u’ with the curve for Tom’s iris.
Step 16
Now draw Tom’s ears and fur on the back of his head. The ear looks like a sideways ‘v’ that turns into a ‘j’ (at the bottom). Draw the fur by drawing a few small zigzags, one large zigzag, and then another small zigzag.
Step 17
Now finish Tom’s ears with a flattened ‘s’ shape. Then draw Tom’s mouth and muzzle by drawing a letter ‘s’.
Step 18
Now let’s draw Tom’s nose by drawing a filled ‘P’ except for a small oval marker. Also draw the back beard by drawing a long number ’11’.
Step 19
Now draw the back and bottom of Tom’s mouth by drawing an upside down question mark (no dots). Alternatively, draw his cheeks by drawing a horizontal ‘j’ with a straight line from the bottom of the ‘j’ to the side of the eye.
Step 20
Now fill in Tom’s mouth except for a small oval highlight. Also draw Tom’s iris and pupils by drawing a colorful oval (except for a small oval marker). Also, draw Tom’s eyebrow – it looks like a side letter ‘J’. Also, draw Tom’s front beard by drawing something like the number ’11’.
Step 21
Now draw a curved shape like the letter ‘L’ on the right side of the mouth, under the cheek. Then start drawing Tom’s right arm by drawing a rectangle and then a downward facing rectangle. Then use the rectangles as guides to draw the red lines of the arms and feet.
Step 22
Now start drawing the back by drawing an upside down curved ‘T’. Then start drawing Tom’s feet by drawing backwards a ‘j’-like shape as well as a ‘u’-like shape for the second finger.
Step 23
Now draw another ‘u’ for the 3rd finger. Also draw another ‘u’ like shape for the last finger. For the belly, just draw 2 curves inward.
Step 24
Now draw the tushie and the tail by drawing a shape like the letter ‘u’ that curves downwards. For the tail, draw 2 lines ending in a ‘v’ shape. Draw a zigzag line at the end of the tail.
Step 25
Now draw the hind legs.
Step 26
Now draw the back, right foot by drawing a downward line and then a horizontal ‘j’-like shape. Draw the other 2 legs with a zigzag bunch of feathers.
Step 27
On the right foot, draw a horizontal ‘3’-like shape. For the left foot, draw an inverted ‘L’ shape that turns into a ‘j’ shape.
Step 28
Draw an inverted shape like the number ‘3’ on the foot.
Step 29
Start drawing the hand after… draw lines at the top of the arm and at the bottom, draw 2 fingers by drawing a shape that looks like c
Step 30
Now Draw 2more fingers by drawing 2 more ‘u’ like shapes. Now draw more action / movement lines by drawing a few ‘u’ like shapes…a # like shape, and a few lines.
Step 31
Now draw more action lines.
Step 32
Finished Drawing of Jerry Kicking Tom from Tom and Jerry Tutorial
Now you just have to draw a line for the table Tom is leaning on and then erase lines that you don’t need and outline the ‘correct’ lines with a black pen or marker. Making thick, interesting lines instead of the thin pencil lines makes quite a difference in the end result, doesn’t it? If you are having problems figuring out which lines to erase, then reference my drawing (above) for help. Now you will have an amazing cartoon Tom drawing to show off to your friends.
